Grand Siècle Cuvée, Champagne Laurent Perrier NV

Tasting Note

Honeyed, nutty aromas with hints of almonds and freshly baked brioche. Very forward, yet continues to open for quite some time in the glass. Round and rich, with an amazing combination of complex elegance and power.

Producer Note

The House of Laurent-Perrier was established in 1812 and is located in the heart of the Champagne region at Tours-sur-Marne. Owned by the Nonancourt family it remains the largest independent 'Grande Marque' Champagne House. Careful selection of grapes, full attention to all stages of the winemaking process and ageing of each wine according to its needs, are the requisites for the development of the individual character of each and every wine.

Winemaking

Only the finest musts from the pressings are kept for this wine. The blended wine is then aged for about 5 years.

Serving Suggestion

Complex and well-balanced, Grand Siècle contains all the ingredients to enable it to match a wide range of refined dishes. It would provide the perfect foil to poultry with truffles, or to veal with wild mushrooms. One could also try it with fish such as red mullet or sea-bass. For a magnificent start to a festive meal, serve it as an aperitif.
